Park gate now open at the Holburne

Richard Wyatt,

Bath’s Holburne Museum has unveiled its new look for the cafe terrace and  surrounding garden leading into Sydney Gardens behind this historic building.

The steps down into the Holburne from Sydney Gardens.

The rear gate is now open and the new steps able to be used. The museum has still to lay the remains of a special surface to enable the disabled to use the rear entrance.

The special reinforced grass surface being prepared for wheelchair and pushchair users.

This will enable grass to grow through its patterned surface but provide a tough enough membrane for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

The cafe’s garden furniture is also going to be replaced very soon!
